This is one of the best salads I've made recently! And it came together so easily. Hubby was making Pad Thai for supper, but I had already fulfilled my quota of starches for the day. So I took most of the same ingredients, minus the noodles, and came up with this amazingly similar and super zingy salad. Perfect for a hot day!
Simply arrange on your plate:
bed of lettuce
1/2 orange bell pepper
1/2 c bean sprouts
a few slices Vidalia onion
1 green onion
Fresh Cilantro (I like a lot, but use as much as you want)
Add 1 chicken breast, sliced and cooked in a non-stick pan with a tiny bit of peanut oil and a pinch of chili powder and salt.
Wisk together in a small bowl:
1 Tbsp Thai chili sauce (such as PC Memories of Thailand)
1 tsp lime juice
few drops fish sauce
1/2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp Agave syrup or honey
1/4 tsp (or more) Sriracha hot sauce
Pour dressing over salad and garnish with chopped peanuts.
I will defenitely be making this again!
That DOES look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI might start with 1/8 tsp. of Sriracha though, haha... (yeah, I'm a wimp!) Along those same lines, I have some untouched Moroccan harissa sauce sitting in my fridge -- but I'm skeered to use it... I think it'll be very hot!!
Anyway -- I hope your summer is proceeding nicely! :)
